Question

I have a little problem that I haven’t been able to find a solution for yet.

Language: MySQL.

I have a table that contains the Names and Family names of 3 different people in one row, of course they’re in 6 columns

Example :

Name1  |  Surname1  |  Name2  |  Surname2  |  Name3  |  Surname3  |
a      |  a         |  b      |  b         |  c      |  c         |
d      |  d         |  e      |  e         |  f      |  f         |

And so on…

Now I want these names in a select, to be shown as full names, for example :

Name1         |  Name2          |  Name3         |
a,a           |  b,b            |  c,c           |

How can I achieve that? I’ve tried:

SELECT (name1, surname1) as name1, (name2, surname2) as name2, (name3, surname3) as name3 from Table;

And the same with + ' ' + instead of commas as well, and I’m not sure as to how I could solve my problem.

Answer 1

SELECT CONCAT(name1, ', ', surname1) as name1, CONCAT(name2, ', ', surname2) as name2, CONCAT(name3, ', ', surname3) as name3 from Table;
